All the people who were so excited eabout today being the day that “The Academy” would revoke thug Will Smith will falsely get to wait longer. “The Academy” now says it will take weeks to evaluate thug Smith’s behavior. You know what this means right? “The Academy” is just going to wait until America forgets about the thuggish sissy slap and it will just fade away.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (AMPAS) said the investigation into Will Smith’s assault against comedian Chris Rock will “take a few weeks.”
In a statement on Tuesday evening, the Academy president David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson said that top members of the organization “are upset and outraged” by Will Smith’s actions on Sunday night when he stormed the stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock for making a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith’s haircut.
“We are upset and outraged that those moments were overshadowed by the unacceptable and harmful behavior on stage by a nominee,” the statement said. “To be clear, we condemn Mr. Smith’s actions that transpired Sunday night.”
